They should run it continuously 24/7 in his cell for the rest of his life.

If Cooper's death was accidental, I imagine the realization (if the ME is accurate) that he might still have been able to save Cooper at lunchtime will haunt him for the rest of his life, no reminders required.

“He’s in there, he’s breathing, he’s sweating and he’s urinated,” Frist said. Plus in the time leading up to death, the sphincter releases, so there is gas that may have escaped, Frist said.

So there weren’t decomposition smells per se, Frist said he believes. But he does believe that especially as it got to around 4 o’clock in the afternoon when the temperature in the car would have been hot, there would have the stale odor of someone who’s been breathing, sweating, urinating, Frist said.

I would think inexperienced civilian witnesses would refrain, if for no other reason they'd be afraid of being caught out by sharp attorneys because what they heard made them unintentionally deviate from expected testimony.

Personally, though, I think Stoddard might be paying a great deal of attention to testimony.

Trial - Ross Harris #2

I didn't know that you could swipe right to disable the comments from FB users scrolling on the screen. The testimony was brutal but the noxious comments from the trolls joking and arguing was insufferable. Others explained to me to swipe right when I asked. Whew! Just had to share with you all so you don't have to experience that particular nightmare.
Ross was dressed nicely in a suit with his hair neatly in place. It was the best I have ever seen him look. His face was furrowed through several minutes of testimony and he did break down when the ME was talking about Coopers time of death and the possibility he was alive still at noon. Ross was sobbing into his hands.

And unlike some defendants in recent murder trials I've watched, his demeanor didn't change after the jury left the room. Standing there afterwards, he looked devastated, imo.
